The May 23, 1975 Earl's Court performance is now available as a 6CD definitive edition! When it comes to the Earl's Court performance in 1975, it is only natural that attention will be focused on the performance on the 24th and 25th, where professional shot footage and audio (SB) have been discovered and updated, which became popular around the turn of the 21st century. As a result, the positioning of each day of all five Earl's Court performances and the item release status have changed slightly compared to before. Looking back over the past 20 years or so, I feel that the 23rd performance, like the opening day performance on the 17th, has been overshadowed by professional shot footage and SB items, and has been neglected somehow. There must be many people who think so.) In the first place, the performance on the 23rd has been released since the LP era, and although it was an audience, the sound quality is very high, and there is no objection that the performance was much higher than the performance on the 24th. (Although there are mistakes and PA troubles, etc.) However, even during this time when we have been focusing on professional shot videos and SB audio titles, we have not forgotten about discovering new sound sources and upgrading sound sources, and it is fortunate that we have been steadily working on it, albeit modestly. This time, we will focus on the performance on May 23rd, the third day, which can be called a ``good'' performance, which did not have a chance to shine in the sun among the five performances at Earl's Court, and has compiled a thorough compilation. Based on 3 types of best material (Sources 1, 3 and 4), condensed into 6 CDs through reliable research and precise mastering. It is a definitive title full of volume. In the past, there have been multiple large boxes of the Earl's Court performance that recorded all 5 days, but this time there is also the first sound source (most of Discs 5-6) that was not included in those boxes, and this 23 When it comes to a single title that has been thoroughly compiled so far specifically for day performances, this edition is of course the first. The main source for the main story (Discs 1-4) is Source 1 (Mono Aud: not the Internet) as in previous releases, but this time we will use Source 3 (Mono Aud), which has appeared in recent years, as a supplementary sub-source and bonus material. , the best recording of the 23rd performance, making full use of Source 4 (stereo Aud). Regarding the mono Aud of source 1, the problem of the high frequency missing in many cases with the previous release and the deviation of the sound image localization (the localization was often skewed with the previous release) have been resolved. This is truly a first title that combines clear clarity and stable sound image localization in the center, which is typical of a mono sound source. We also need to clarify the positioning of this issue as one that has already occurred, so I will touch on it briefly. The CG version "THE AWESOME FOURSOME", which appeared around 1993 and was the first to be made into a CD, is actually surprisingly fresh (however, Discs 2-3 are a bit confusing), and this title appears this time. Until then, it was the best title in terms of freshness and natural feel. However, there was a problem with the content, and it was released as a 3-CD set, so Moby Dick was recorded separately on the second and third CDs, as those who own it know ( In the early days of CD items, a 4-disc set was still difficult to get into). Also, the most recent title is a release from the 2010s, and although it's not that common there, the band drops sharply around 12-16khz, and there are sounds between songs that have not been previously released. The cutting and gap noise on Disc 4 were also disappointing. Next, regarding source 3 (mono Aud) and source 4 (stereo Aud), which are supplementary and bonus materials, these have appeared in recent years as mentioned above. Source 3 is a mono Aud with a slightly more distant feel than Source 1, but the freshness is very good, and it can be said that the delicate sound of the performance part is characteristic. The audience's applause can be heard strangely and directly, and although it is the same Aud as Source 1, which has a wide-ranging sounding sound, it is quite contrasting and interesting. The recording time of the original material is said to be quite long like Source 1, and in recent years there are also fan titles on the Internet that are mainly edited from Source 3 (although the editing is sloppy). This time, Source 3 will be treated as a sub-source, and will be a supplementary source between songs that cannot be compensated for by Source 1 or Source 4, but once again, after the main part of Disc 4, it will be selected mainly for acoustic sets and the end of the live performance, and will be specially recorded as a bonus. I am. Of course, this source has also been carefully remastered. The originally biased sound image localization is corrected to the center as if it were a mono sound source. Furthermore, the tape blur that frequently occurred mainly in the left channel has been eliminated for the first time on this board. The acoustic part, which fully demonstrates the delicacy of Source 3, is a bonus and a great listen! Source 4 is a stereo Aud that first appeared as a supplement to the final part of Trampled Underfoot on the previously released Scorpio edition, but this time almost the entire existing length (137 minutes in total) is included as a bonus on Disc 5-6. Although it has a slightly thin, hard texture, the performance is very close and the direct feeling is outstanding. The recording time is less than 140 minutes, so it is far from a complete recording, and the overall tonal balance is left to Source 1, so this time it will be limited to supplementary and bonus material for the main story, but it is very high quality as a new sound source that has appeared in recent years. In terms of sound quality, above all, it is the first stereo source for this day, and it is the first time that the complete take of Trampled Underfoot is recorded as the sound source for this day, so it is a bonus material that cannot be missed. Sho. Most of this recording (about 135 minutes) is appearing for the first time, and the sound source itself is not available on the internet. This source 4 will supplement the main story in about two places, but it will be supplemented after converting it to the main story. The major supplementary part is at the end of Trampled Underfoot, which is the only cut in the song in Source 1, but by converting it to mono to match the main story, it is a must-listen as it realizes a really smooth supplement that does not feel strange. The difference is obvious even compared to previous releases. Furthermore, in some literature, this stereo source is counted as the same source as Source 2 (mono Aud), which first appeared on the anthra edition and was subsequently used to supplement the final part of Trampled Underfoot on the previously released edition. However, as you can tell from the applause and cheers of the people around them, it is clear that they are from different sources. By the way, source 2 seems to be a monaural recording, although it is difficult to understand because the phase is shifted on the previously released version. Also, after the first recording on the anthra edition, it became standard for this source 2 to be used as a supplementary source at the end of Trampled Underfoot, but in the end, the details such as the full-length version of this source were unexpectedly revealed. In particular, it seems to be unknown at this point. Therefore, this is just a speculation, but I think that this source 2 was probably a unique sound source owned by the anthra edition (*This is just a speculation). For other detailed editing points, please refer to the song list column. However, since the main source is excellent source 1 with few cuts, there are relatively few sound source changes. You can enjoy the top-ranked performance during the 5 days at Earl's Court with the best and stable sound without feeling any discomfort from beginning to end! From the 5-day performance at Earl's Court in 1975, the final version of the 3rd and 23rd performance is now available! A super-volume 6CD set that includes an extra disc with virtually new sources (2 entire discs of Discs 5-6)! Thorough recording of the 23rd performance using 3 Aud sound sources! This is the first volume title to be released on the 23rd alone! The extra discs (Discs 5-6) include the stereo source of almost the entire story that appears for the first time (over 135 minutes out of a total of 137 minutes appear for the first time) on CD (not on the internet)! Furthermore, Disc 4 also includes bonus tracks (excerpts from the main story and another alternate mono source)! Recording summary Disc 1-4 (this time's main disc): Source 1 main + bonus source 3 songs included Disc 5-6 (extra disc): Source 4 main ★ Most of them appear for the first time Organized sound sources (numbers are for convenience) Source 1: About 200 minutes of mono Aud, the main source of this title. It has been out since the analog LP era, and the CD first appeared on the CG version around 1993. Source 2: Unspecified, neither mono nor stereo (probably mono) Aud. Previously, this sound source was always used to supplement the final part of Trampled, but in the end, it seems that only the supplementary part is still in circulation, and the sound is bad, so it has already lost its value, but on this day it became the most mysterious sound source. Oops. It seems that this is confused with source 4 in the professional site area, but in reality they are two different sound sources. Appears on a nostalgic anthra edition. Source 3: About 200 minutes of mono Aud. It has a slightly distant but delicate sound. Some bonuses are included on Disc 4 this time. Source 4: 137 minutes of stereo Aud, this is the first appearance of any item other than the end of Trampled. By the way, specialized sites count this as source 2. Specially included on Disc 5-6 Live at Earls Court Arena, London, England 23rd May 1975 Disc 1-4 Mono Aud Source The main source is source 1 (mono Aud), but it is the best clear sound with high frequencies (on the internet) do not have)!
